We each have our favorite workouts to do, and we each have sets we’d prefer to avoid. As a distance swimmer, I love to do timed 1650s all day long, but I dread the very idea of sprinting a single 100 off the blocks. And honestly, butterfly isn’t nearly as much fun as it was when I was a flexible and limber teenager. Even so, I’d like to share a few reasons we should each embrace and celebrate opportunities to swim sets that we might not enjoy.
